NHTSA Complaint #11580589 — 2022 RAM 3500

On [XXX] I was driving my newly purchased 2022 Ram 3500 on [XXX] near Mead, CO when my check engine light illuminated and I immediately lost forward driving gears. I was able to coast safely to the side of the highway. I purchased this truck new on [XXX] from Perkins Motors in Colorado Springs. After stopping on the side of [XXX], I attempted to continue forward but had no power. I placed the truck in reverse and felt a sudden jerk. I then placed the truck in park and shut it off. The truck had 1,043 miles on the odometer when the transmission failed. I waited on the side of the highway for 15 hours to be towed 110 miles to the Ram dealership closest to my home. My truck spent 5 weeks at the dealership waiting on parts. Colorado Springs Ram service department informed me that the snap ring in the K1 clutch kit had failed.
